Clarification.....if you have chlorine in your tap water I don't think you absolutely have to treat it with ReptiSafe. You can "age" the water by leaving it out in an open bucket overnight. The chlorine gas will dissipate when exposed to air. However, if your water is treated with chloramines you will want to use the ReptiSafe. Call your water utility to find out what they use. No sense adding another chemical to the water if not needed.
